Summary: Save yourself some angst....
Comment: ...and go with something else. I've used BitDefender for over a year now, and this morning woke up to discover that my internet provider had alerted me via email that I had a Trojan on my computer - this with BitDefender already in place and functioning on my machine. I figured if they could do that that I would download the McAfee anti-virus product they were offering for free. I installed it, and during the first scan it picked up not one, but two Trojans on my computer - two that BitDefender somehow managed to miss. Bottom line, save yourself some heartache here. BitDefender will noticably slow your computer down, scans take forever, it is forever updating, and based on what I saw today I have to wonder what it's updating for - the prom? Bottom line, it's just not as good a product as McAfee or Trend Micro, based upon my experience.

Summary: Works for me
Comment: For about 7 months, I've been running this software on my Vista home premium laptop and my XP Media Center desktop and haven't had any problems at all. Both of my systems operate smoothly, even during full system scans. I've used a few different internet security suites and so far this is the best. I only gave it 4 stars because the extra features (Duplicate finder, disk defragmenter) are mediocre.
Pros: Easy to use/configure, Updates every hour, not a resource hog.
Cons: Seems like some extra features were just added as fillers.

Summary: really great deal
Comment: Great value, product works very well. It is light on system resources. I've run 3 other security suites on this machine, the others being Webroot, Norton, and McAfee. It is much lighter on system resources than Webroot and Norton and has a faster startup and scan times. A little more demanding than McAfee, but not to the point that performance suffers. The firewall is much easier to train than Webroot's and McAfee. The backup service is nice, but maybe not needed for all users. Overall, the best suite I've owned so far.

Summary: Don't Trust It!
Comment: I thought BiDefender was protecting my computer, but I was wrong! Instead, it infected me with an obnoxious trojan/virus. Their technical support appeared helpful in the beginning, but after three weeks of emails back and forth and several 6-hour scans, I gave up. They never could remove the virus.
I had my computer checked out by BestBuy who said I was so badly infected I should do a complete system recovery, which I was about to do when I decided to give Kaspersky 7.0 a try. Well, it cleaned my whole system and eliminated 61 virus/trojan/adware files and my computer is now working just great.
I suppose BitDefender works fine, as long as you don't get infected. My advice, stay away from it--try Kaspersky instead.

Summary: BitDefender free online scanner
Comment: I have to jump in here ... I can attest that Bitdefender free online scanner is fabulous! My machine was totally cheesed - AVG found nothing, Avast found nothing, but BitDefender wiped out the bugs and I am VERY impressed. Had I not read these reviews I would have probably purchased their newest version.
